"Money Won't Pay" lyrics

It's hard
When you're staying way past 5
Every single night
For some crazy deadline

And we're all so confined by the need
To always make ends meet
'Cos if you're not earning
You could end up on the street

And that's no place to live

Chasing dollars with a baseball bat in hand
Some folks'll never understand
And they're asking you to be a man
But the money won't pay, money won't pay
Money won't pay, money won't pay...!

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down (get on down)
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

But it's true
The parties start too soon
When there's work to do
But you'll always have a crew
Who want to be with you

And so
When it's back to work again
Just think about your friends
And the good times they portend (Yeah! Yeah!)
No, this is not the end

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down (get on down)
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day...
